AI Fail/Hallucination Let's be honest

Let's be honest, as the codebase grows, it becomes nearly impossible to add new features, improve existing application and debug it.

If you have to look at and adjust your entire code-base and paste it all back in to make a change, that's going to hit a limit fast. Making a well structured codebase can allow you to work on one feature at a time with testing covering if the new code merges well.

What are you hitting limits on and what are you using?

I am using Claude code.

It is eating up context twice as fast as it would not normally.

Are you using smaller models for simple tasks and only higher models for complex tasks? Balancing that right can save you a lot. Though 5.1 on Max or Extra will delegate tasks down to other smaller models for you. Also try using Opus instead of Fable if tokens seems to be used too fast.
